There’s no doubt that Seguin’s development has been accelerated since Patrice Bergeron went down with a concussion and head coach Claude Julien had to put the 19-year-old into the lineup. In addition to his high-scoring game in Game 2, he helped set up a goal in Game 3 with solid puck-protection.

Skating on a line with veterans Chris Kelly and Michael Ryder seems to have brought out the best in Seguin after a season during which he skated on numerous different lines, and both on the wing and at center.

Should the Bruins’ playoff continue and Seguin continue to contribute, the love affair between the fans and the rookie will intensify.

He is a great young talent i think he needs more minutes to really blossom he is use to be the best player on every team he has played with on till now .I love he offenceive side and looks like the defence is comming to gonna be a star for us for many years to come
